A set of exhibits featuring the work of six artists commissioned to ‘document’ the Catawba River for one year from fall 2006 through summer 2007, from its headwaters just below Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina, to Lake Wateree, South Carolina, where it becomes the Wateree River, the Santee River and then the Cooper River until reaching the Atlantic Ocean.
Drawn exclusively from the Plimpton Collection, the exhibition includes manuscripts and books from medieval times through the early 20th century, including many of the manuscripts and books that were used to illustrate Plimpton's The Education of Shakespeare and The Education of Chaucer, and David Eugene Smith's Rara Arithmetica. Additional sections of the exhibition deal with handwriting and education for women, two of Plimpton's particular interests.
